A Fearless Hollywood Conservative

Came across this five-part interview with novelist Andrew Klavan. It's well worth the watch.

It got me interested in his writing and I found this piece in City Journal from last year.

Money Q:

"The thing I like best about being a conservative is that I don’t have to lie. I don’t have to pretend that men and women are the same. I don’t have to declare that failed or oppressive cultures are as good as mine. I don’t have to say that everyone’s special or that the rich cause poverty or that all religions are a path to God. I don’t have to claim that a bad writer like Alice Walker is a good one or that a good writer like Toni Morrison is a great one. I don’t have to pretend that Islam means peace."

A kindred spirit and wonderful writer. His new novel is "Empire of Lies." They were out of it at Barnes & Noble. Borders, here I come.
